Marco A. Pelosi, III, MD, cosmetic gynecologist and cofounder of the International Society of Cosmetogynecology (ISCG), outlines the steps for effective hymenoplasty. Hymen repair is performed under local anesthesia utilizing either laser, radiofrequency, electrosurgery or sharp dissection techniques and concludes with precise microsurgical suturing. Hymen restoration by Dr. Pelosi's method typically takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish and recovery is very mild. Many hymenorrhaphy patients fly in for the procedure and fly home on the same day. Complete healing time is approximately six weeks.
